Reason: Noticed several [color]_dragon tags in use, but none are implicated to dragon. I figured the best idea would be to just alias all of these away under dragon, given that the only one with a wiki is green_dragon and it just says "Use dragon and green_scales instead.". Most of these are the ten classic dungeons_and_dragons true dragon types, plus a few others I found poking around.

Edit: Removed the alias request for the tags with the _(d&d) suffix. As per the suggestions, I created a 2nd BUR below for their implications.

I disagree with nuking specific dungeon and dragons species designs on the basis that they have a generic name. It will be hard to add the appropriate copyright tags when the species get unceremoniously retagged as dragon instead. Fans of Dungeons and dragons will appreciate being able to find the content they are looking for without having to sift through the massive dragon tag, and hoping that people tag their copyrights.

I think that that tags that coincide with D&D species are better disambiguated perhaps under a single page colored_dragon_(disambiguation). That way, the D&D dragons wont get lost in the dragon tag when people don't add the proper suffix. The disambiguation page could imply dragon for convenience. Additionally, I think the dragons belonging to D&D should be grouped under an umbrella tag dragon_(d&d).

+1. Was just about to suggest that they get grouped under dragon_(d&d).

Reason: I updated the original dragon colors BUR, as per the suggestions. That left a lot of new need implications I added here, namely implicating dragon and dungeons_and_dragons from the various D&D dragon species.

I also created the colored_dragon_(disambiguation) tag's wiki, but feel free to change it if you feel it needs any fixing.
